A national Co-operative across the Manufacturing Sector

The Manufacturing Co-operative is a social enterprise working for the benefit of its members with any surplus generated being reinvested back into the Co-operative. The aim is to match the specialist skills of UK manufacturing small businesses (SMEs) with the needs of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) by delivering innovative supply chain solutions. This new, collaborative approach makes it easier for OEMs to source products and services from UK SMEs. We partner with Barclays Bank Plc and current members include BHR Group, NEP, SEMLEP and CIM Limited.
